Methodist minister and Civil War chaplain Edward McKendree Bounds (1835-1913) considered conversation with God as fundamentally vital to the Christian's life as physical breath. He devoted the last 17 years of his life to intense intercession and to penning some of the most perennially popular works about prayer. This attractive volume features the very best of his beloved writings. "God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed in death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them; they outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world." --from E.M. Bounds on Prayer Every Christian library needs the classics--the timeless books that have spoken powerfully to generations of believers. Hendrickson Christian Classics allow readers to build an essential classics library in affordable modern editions.

How to "Halleluiah" in All Circumstances You may never have thought that praise and thanksgiving to God go together, that they constitute a ministry to the Lord, which he highly values. Professor Fomurn examines the Biblical basis for this and much more relating to praise and thanksgiving in this volume. From the obvious giving of thanks when things go well and praising the Lord in victory, the author goes on to teach on "costly" praise and thanksgiving, how to "halleluiah" even when it hurts, which is the best sacrifice to the Lord. This volume is packed with Biblical case studies, from a whole section on David to those on Job and the Lord Jesus. Several chapters are very practical: how to set up a daily calendar of praise and thanksgiving; recording the details of one's life for praise and thanksgiving; the power of cold routine! There is no need to be anxious anymore about the poverty of praise and thanksgiving in your prayer life. This volume is an answer to your prayers and for Philippians 4:6.
